It was built in the fifth year of Chunhua in the Northern Song Dynasty (994) according to the county annals of Jiaqing in the Qing Dynasty. From the investigation of the stele of Xianshan temple in yangboyou of the Ming Dynasty, the fact that the stele of the original Northern Dynasty statue in the temple was destroyed proves that (the statue on the upper part of the stele still exists) its construction age was later than that of the Northern Song Dynasty. Jiaqing county annals in Qing Dynasty, Zhang Zai (Hengqu) hidden this reading lectures, so it was named Xianshan. The road here is quiet and strange, and the mountains are circuitous and beautiful. Overlooking the Weihe River in Zhongnan, the mountains are far away, and the water is near. Whenever the sun goes down in the west, the Xiaguang reflects the ancient temples, lush ancient trees, temples and pavilions, screening the brilliance, winding and winding, and the dark cave is bright.

In the middle preface, the temple began from the Tang Dynasty to the time of the Great Yuan Dynasty. There was a monk named Xianqi who traveled here at the age of 20 and dug a hole to live there.
